AEMS will roll out approximately 3,000 gateways running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, managed by the Red Hat Network Satellite Server, for member trading firms operating on its global Liffe Connect platform. Liffe Connect is designed to bring futures and options products together on a single platform, used on 790 sites in 29 countries.
AEMS’s migration to a Linux solution was based on the requirement for open and flexible architecture, with higher performance and fully manageable total cost of ownership with no proprietary lock in.
AEMS will use a pair of resilient Red Hat Network Satellite servers at its primary locations, feeding 18 Red Hat Network Proxy servers in other locations around the world. Each of these will be equipped with update, management and provisioning entitlements. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is running on HP AMD based hardware.
Our migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux will significantly improve the price performance of our solutions, thereby allowing our customers to reduce their unit costs, said Jean-Marc Bouhelier, CEO, AEMS.
